Re: The Second Gantz Live Action Movie

The second movie is terrible, especially the ending. I find it brave for them to make their sort-of-conclusion to the live action/movie franchise of Gantz, but it just doesn't make the cut. I'd choose the manga story line without a doubt.

Re: The Second Gantz Live Action Movie

It was always planned as 2 movies. By the time the first one was released the second one was well into production. That's why we got them so close together. I think they were released only a few months apart.

Cons:
Vampires were useless. 0 Gantz casualties and like a dozen vampires dead
Blocking handguns by shoving the tip of the sword into the um, hole thing. Where the bullets come out. Haha I can't remember what it's called. Barrel maybe?

Re: The Second Gantz Live Action Movie

Yeah it was a cool action scene but it looked very UN-realistic in my opinion; the swords that the Gantzers used looked like foam swords coz they were jiggling a lot. I was a fan of the cosplay but when they fought they looked somehow very uncool and those characters that fought weren't right, I know that it's ordinary people spawning in the room but come on they could've put in more bad ass characters that would've suited the scene.
But I have to say it was a great scene as you mentioned:
- Sword fights were pretty cool
- Kei thrown off the train
But whilst doing both of these two things, they looked super uncool. I guess that's the reason why I didn't enjoy these two movies as much as I thought I would; Kurono was now a Good guy who valued human life and he never really developed that and the scenes were super Dramatic. But Japanese live actions always turn out the same... BAD! But not all of them turn out bad I enjoyed both 20th century boys and Oldboy.

Swords are a bit flexible though aren't they? You'd expect long ones like to 'wobble' a bit.

I actually liked Kei. He was one of the only decent actors in the movie. I admit I skipped just about everything except the fight scenes, but he did a good job of portraying the reckless/cocky version of Kei from mission 3.
